Super_horns Posted 15 August 2023 Share Posted 15 August 2023 I saw this archive video from Sky on Twitter earlier . I guess it cropped up after last nights last minute VAR incident. Did Sky ask for an interview or a rare occasion of a ref wanting to come out for an interview post match to explain his decisions? Could this be a thing of the future as there has been a lot of comment about hearing from officials particularly with VAR around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted 15 August 2023 Share Posted 15 August 2023 Last night's penalty decision: The ref clearly bottled the original call bearing in mind the score and how close it was to full time. "I'll not make the call and VAR can look at it". VAR, did exactly the same thing and bottled it with the convenient "go by the ref's decision". Both were too scared to award a last min penalty, when in reality they both probobly knew it was. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes em hours to decide what to wear… But a whistle in the hand, 2 cards at their side, VAR yapping in their ears… Their descision, will be like Grandmas Sunday Roasts, always with Yorkshire pudding.No arguments..!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t understand why they don’t send referee to the monitor for more decisions, but don’t influence them so much. Allow them to change the decision on their own accord if they feel necessary without interference from those in the VAR booth, unless it is blatantly obvious they have it wrong and they still aren’t seeing it for themselves.

They have the talent to do it, it’s whether they gel. Plus, I’m not convinced that they won’t sign another striker yet if they can shift Lukaku. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Posted 15 August 2023 Share Posted 15 August 2023 47 minutes ago, Tielemans63 said: All about the Fair Play In theory their player sales are just about covering their spending. But that ignores the rest of the club and wage bill. The previous two seasons they've had huge losses of over £200m combined. They need to start making a profit soon or they'll be in trouble. Interestingly they can still give out 8 year contracts. The 5 year limit is a UEFA ruling and they aren't in Europe this season. The PL haven't brought it in yet but will probably do so from next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably why they have been dropped within hours of the incident without so much as an excuse as to why that decision was made . Just shows how bad it was ! Presume the PMGOL feel that the on field ref should have seen it originally too? Edited 16 August 2023 by Super_horns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never occurred to me that the 5 year one was eufa only and that not being in Europe allowed them to keep exploiting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
